I really need to learn #PCB design.

I'll be going with #KiCad, and I'd love to hear any useful tips you have.

I think I can probably figure out the basics on my own, but I'd be interested in best practices, especially about:

• library management

• schematic design

• silkscreen conventions

• keeping projects in Git, in a self-contained way (i.e. with all required files to share the design online)

• designing stuff to be mounted in enclosures

Video preferred, but text works, too.

this helped me a lot kick starting with KiCad: youtube.com/watch?v=zK3rDhJqMu…
